Life is a bike path, and I want to ride it all day long. It's kind of what I do already. https://youtube.com/@kevinsbikingadventures278?si=OCjfxi6zls-JRIa4

I just came back from Paris and while I was there, we did a bike tour. Here are the highlights of it on the chaotic streets of Paris! 😀

This reminds me of a certain meme or video I've seen, can't remember what, of a robot that follows biblical passages. Humanity didn't last long. 🤣

I was just riding from uOttawa to St-Laurent. I dread going through uOttawa because it gets crowded at this time of year. Normally, I gauge when trains arrive and anticipate where the crowds are going so I can take the best route to avoid them.

This morning, it was like a ghost town! 😮

Another example of him micromanaging something he doesn't understand and shouldn't be involved with. Remember all those companies he bankrupted? 🤔

He had an uncle or something who went to MIT. That's all the qualification he needs. 🥴

As someone who is fluent in English and French and attempted to learn Spanish and German, this is an obvious lie. The concept of fluency is never 100%, in my opinion (at least with me), and learning a language and maintaining it depends on practice.

11 days until Vancouver bitches! 🥳

All that to say that I don't think it's a projection from you. Your vanity isn't annoying to me, and you do seem to have a very nice personality to you! 😀

Personally, while it's nice to look at, it gets old quickly. They all tend to look the same and don't differ from one another. Having a personality stands out much more.

Maybe I have a bit of envy, too, because I don't care for that kind of lifestyle yet want to look that way. 😅

Normally after dinner I give treats to the cats, but tonight I went straight to my computer. My husband texted this to me letting me know about something I forgot. 😅

A text message at the top that says, "She is waiting" with a photo below of a cat up close looking slightly up.

After dinner, I told my husband that I'm feeling under the weather and I'll retire to my home office to play some #railwayempire. He rolled his eyes at me, saying that I was going to play that regardless. I replied saying he was right. I do very much love that game. 😀

I listened to this on my bike ride home. Instead of inspiring me to dance, it inspired me to pedal! 😀

Fun fact. Tired in French is "fatigué." The closest two words in English I can use to describe this pronunciation is "fatty gay."

I'm just trying to pass the time until it's 5pm here and I can get off work. 😀

Seriously. I was in London with my husband and family, we saw three musicals: Dear Evan Hansen, Mary Poppins, and Cabaret. My niece said her favourite was DEH because she related as a bullied preteen at the time. When asked about mine, I said MP because that's literally how my mind works. 🤣

Annnnnnnnd responses blocked. It's late in the day and I'm too tired for this shit. 🥴

What is it like inside your head?

I heard Sutcliffe's interview yesterday about it and downplaying the amount of time it takes to read it.

As someone who constantly has a lot going on with many distractions, it would be hard for me to cram that in. I imagine that councillors have a lot more going on than me!

Is Roots a thing outside of Canada? 🤔

It's one of my favourite brands! 😀

As an avid e-biker myself (with my regulation pedal-assist), this does need to be addressed. I'm okay when they use the road like anyone else, but now we have people using the bike lanes and even the sidewalks weaving around crowds on these, which is a huge safety risk.

I'm only on the side of whoever gets the most cash out of it and/or custody of the cats if applicable.

I never watched that entire movie; I started it halfway on a TV channel once. But I was always a fan of Diane Keaton's smile, so I kept it on for that.

And then I oddly love the part where she's doing market research at the library before the internet was a thing. 😀📕

In a few wks, my hubby and I are going to Vancouver with Porter, which has a special fare structure. All the seats are econ, but the front ones have more leg room, and a few out of those get a free meal. We'll be in the spacious row behind the "frills" section. I imagine our FA will be doing this. 🤭

For someone who only lived 2 years in the 80s, I got all of these in like 20 seconds. 😅

I decided to actually go out for a bike ride to attend the #nokings / #notyrants protest in Ottawa. It seemed like a small group, but I had to join them after what the US Ambassador said. Also, my husband made a pun that I had to put on a placard! 😀

As a gay, I can say that I both admire your entire body, and also the shirts you have there. 😍
